Good morning.
"Firstly I would like to let you know how much I enjoy reading your blog. It is always my first check-in daily. The amount of knowledge I have gained from you and your readers is invaluable.
Now for my question. My partner's nephew (27 years old) had to have a testicle removed over the weekend due to a testicular torsion. Is this by any chance a topic that has been covered before, and if not could you possibly pose this to your knowledgeable readers? We would like to hear from others who have suffered this same situation and how they managed the side-effects (if any). I would think at a minimum he should get under an endocrinologist's care ASAP to keep an eye on his "T" levels and immediately start supplementing if/when his numbers drop. As he is very shy I am also concerned that he could start experiencing erection issues whereby he can't keep the "pipes clear" in order to avoid potential prostate issues/cancer and would be too embarrassed to mention this to his doctors.
Any information you or your readers could share would be greatly appreciated!
Feel free to edit the above in any way you see fit, and please sign me "A Concerned Uncle"."
First, thank you for being a faithful reader. It's appreciated.
Sorry to hear your nephew had to lose a testicle. Although testicular torsion is extremely painful, I can say losing one due to torsion is better than testicular cancer. I hope his recovery is quick --- at some point he may consider getting an implant to replace the one he lost. His doctor may even ask him if he wants one.

There should be no side effects from this. One testicle should be sufficient to keep his T levels high enough so he doesn't have to worry about problems with erections. Nor should he have to worry about fertility. One testicle will produce more than enough sperm. I had a buddy in the military with one testicle and he had no problem getting hard and fathered two children. As the adage goes, "All it takes is one."
When it comes to normal sexual function, his doctor should address those issues without your nephew having to ask. I mean, it's a common fear --- though not one he should need to worry about.
Readers? Anyone have any experience with only having one testicle?

I had a friend with only one... really did not notice until it was pointed out... and he did just fine with one.
All I know is my partner's 81-year-old brother had a testicle removed recently, but I don't know the particulars.
In 1984 a careless surgeon damaged a nerve doing a hernia repair. In 1992 the left testicle atrophied and became quite sore. First thought was testicular cancer. Fortunately the first doc I consulted knew immediately what the problem was. He referrred me to a Uroogist who removed it and gave me an implant. Today, at age 84, my T is higher than the average for my age and my ciock is as hard a teenager. Tell your nephew to relax. Nothibg to worry about.
Back in the 70's one of my cousin was bullied by other boys and they kicked him on his genitals. As he was around 15yo and shy he didn't tell his parents.
But in the middle of the night he had atrocious pain and one of his testies was blue and large as a small orange.
Sure he got up and his parents went at the hospital to have the surgery to cut his testicule which had suffer the same twist as you reader mention.
After as an adult he got married and had 3 kids and had no issue to ejaculate properly.
It was a bad news but my cousin was quite cute man and a kind of wiz kid who became a doctor specialised in nuclear treatments.
So this cousin has nothing to fear about his fertility or any other sexual issues.
Now you have knowledge in case someone you know loses a nut.
That was pretty much the way it was with my buddy in the military, too. No one really knew unless he told them.
Oh, gosh, I hope he's recovered well.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing that.
Your cousin did very well for himself. Bravo!
Thanks for sharing that.

My first boyfriend only had one. He seemed to get by just fine.
Whoa.
That sounded urgent. But I've known men with only one testicle (two, to be precise) and they work just FINE. No problems whatsoever. The nephew should have no problem getting it up.
XOXO
What your reader says is so true, thank you for all you have done to educate folks who come to your blog. Even I know what a testicular torsion is!!!!
And certainly only because I am a faithful reader too. Hugs and bisous.
Bonjour, tout d'abord merci pour votre blog.
Je voulais témoigner et rassurer concernant la torsion testiculaire et la perte d'un testicule.
A 18 ans après un malheureux coup de pied reçu aux testicules dans une partie de football, après quelques jours , souffrance absolue, inflammation d'un testicule, intervention et ablation du testicule...
Aujourd'hui, j'ai 67 ans et je n'ai jamais souffert de l'absence de ce testicule, et physiquement et moralement.
J'ai eu depuis une sexualité pleine et entière, pas de complexe, des jouissances complètes et de nombreux partenaires et liaisons diverses.
Fréquentation plage naturiste, sauna, je n'ai pas eu de problème.
Effectivement le médecin m'a bien rassuré à ce moment-là.
Vraiment vous pouvez transmettre mon témoignage pour rassurer ce jeune homme. ~ R

Hello, first of all thank you for your blog.
I wanted to testify and reassure regarding testicular torsion and the loss of a testicle.
At 18 years old after an unfortunate kick to the testicles in a football game, after a few days, absolute suffering, inflammation of a testicle, intervention and removal of the testicle...
Today, I am 67 years old and I have never suffered from the absence of this testicle, both physically and morally.
I have since had full and complete sexuality, no complexes, complete enjoyment and numerous partners and various liaisons.
Attending a naturist beach, sauna, I had no problem.
The doctor actually reassured me at that time.
You can really pass on my testimony to reassure this young man.

Thank you for sharing that. The first-hand account should really help quell the fears of the Reader.
Thank you for sharing that.
Thanks, Six.
XOXO
Thanks, Jean. I covered this a long time ago, so it's buried somewhere in 14 years of posts.
Hugs and bisous.
My eldest brother had one testicle removed when he was 15 years old, back in 1968. He went on to father two healthy children. In fact, his second child was as a result of a burst condom!
